Abstract: Total saponins from Jilin Changbaishan wild Acanthopanax Senticosus were extracted by an orthogonal array design and determined by color development reaction with vanillin and perchloric acid. The results showed that the optimal extraction conditions were as follows: 1:20 of ratio of raw material to liquid, 70% of ethanol concentration, 450 of ultrasonic power,and 50 min extraction time. The content of total saponins in the crude extract obtained under the above conditions was 3.57 mg/g. This method was convenient and quick, which can be applied on the extraction of total saponins from Jilin Changbaishan wild Acanthopanax Senticosus.

Key words: acanthopanax senticosus, total saponins, ultrasonic extraction process
